The Budweiser Clydesdale team makes its way through a group of onlookers on Sunday at the Anheuser-Busch Brewery Tour Center on the Northside. The Clydesdale team was finishing its two-day stay in Jacksonville.

Clydesdales nuzzle before Sunday's appearance at the brewery's tour center. According to the company's website, Anheuser-Busch owns one of nation's biggest herds of Clydesdales, over 200 animals strong.

Some of the Budweiser Clydesdales fidget before their appearance on Sunday. Anheuser-Busch started owning Clydesdales at the end of Prohibition, and has ever since, winning raves for their breeding programs.

The Budweiser Clydesdales team makes its way through a huge crowd at the Anheuser-Busch Brewery Sunday afternoon.

A horse is a horse, of course, unless it’s a Budweiser Clydesdale, in which case you not only draw crowds wherever you go but you get to be the subject of Super Bowl commercials as well.

The 2013 Super Bowl commercial, a heartwarming tale of a trainer who reunites with the Clydesdale he raised, was a viewer favorite. And it was still fresh in the minds of many who faced brisk temperatures on a sunny Sunday afternoon to see the eight-horse team of Clydesdales at the Anheuser-Busch Brewery Tour Center on Jacksonville’s Northside. It was the second of a two-day scheduled appearance there.

Everyone, it seemed, wanted photos of the team as it circled in a lot next to the parking area outside the brewery. Where there were people, there were cameras, iPhones and cellphones.

“We took tons of pictures,” said 10-year-old Myah Yeo of Jacksonville, who came with her mother, Caroline.

Caroline Yeo said this was the first time she’d seen the “gentle giants.” She was encouraged by a friend on Facebook to come out to the event.

“I had no plans, and I thought it would be a good way to spend the afternoon,” she said.

She and her daughter had the same reaction to seeing the Clydesdales: “big.”

Caroline Yeo said she’d seen the Super Bowl commercial and found it “very moving.”
